INTRODUCTION

There is now significant literature showing that psychological stress can down-regulate various aspects of the cellular immune response. It is also established that communication between the central nervous system and the immune system occurs through bidirectional signals linking the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. Psychological stressors affect the immune system by disrupting these networks. In this overview, we discuss the implications of psychological stress-associated immune modulation and risk for infectious disease.


Stress and Immune Function

At a molecular level, human immune function is mediated by the release of cytokines, nonantibody messenger molecules, from a variety of cells of the immune system, and from other cells, such as endothelial cells. We will not be discussing cytokine production by nonimmune cells since they are not known to be related to the etiology or pathogenesis of immune-mediated disease.

These cytokines subsequently . . . [Full Text of this Article]
